With an old piece of furniture I would think that sanding and priming would make it come out better. I am going to paint a pine cabinet with lots of knots in the wood. Dont I need to prime that first to cover them up?carol janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025077443588787780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780084414817956315.post-78800298164027364572011-07-26T14:41:29.404-07:002011-07-26T14:41:29.404-07:00I haven't tried Chalk Paint- but would love to...I haven't tried Chalk Paint- but would love too.

This paint seems to save time, and has a great finish to it. Love how your two pieces turned out. How long did was it after you painted the mirror before you asked your how he liked it?
